A True Multi-Tasking Document System
The MX2600N and MX3100N feature a highperformance, 800 MHz multi-tasking controller
that delivers copy, fax and print jobs continuously
for optimum efficiency. Other controllers only
perform one operation at a time. But the MX Series
continually processes incoming jobs even while
existing jobs are output. The result? A workflow that
virtually never slows down—even at crunch time.
Direct USB Printing Adds Convenience
and Portability
With Direct USB printing, users can print colour
or B&W files in a variety of popular formats directly
from USB memory devices such as a ThumbDrive
or ClipDriveTM.* Need to print PDF brochures in
a hurry for a big
meeting? It’s easy with
the MX Colour Series,
just plug in your
portable USB memory
device, select the
file, and your job
prints immediately.

With Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),
there’s no need to manually enter a recipient’s complete
e-mail address. Simply enter the first few characters and
the MX automatically searches and displays a list of
matching names. Unique File Naming allows users to
enter specific file names with custom subject fields, so
it’s easier than ever to recall files when you need them.
And, with Sharpdesk®personal document management
software, users can easily organize their scanned
documents and integrate them into everyday workflow.

Integrated PC Fax and Internet Fax

Sharp’s innovative PC fax driver enables users to send
fax documents right from their
desktop. For Internet fax operation,
add the optional B&W Internet Fax
expansion kit.
Versatile Application Integration
To help streamline document workflow and enhance
productivity, the MX2600N and MX3100N support
the Sharp OSA development platform. This third
generation technology allows users to interact
with network applications faster than ever before—
and right from the machine LCD panel! With the
ability to personalize applications and processes
specific to your business, OSA technology can
help reduce redundancy and streamline workflow.
OSA technology uses industry-standard network
protocols, such as XML and SOAP, allowing the MX
to communicate with many different applications.
The OSA development platform is also scalable, so
as your workflow needs change, Sharp’s application
integration can change as well.

LEADERSHIP
Environmentally friendly
Designed with a Strong Commitment to
Protecting the Environment
The MX2600N and MX3100N document systems utilize
the second generation micro-fine toner technology, which
offers a lower consumption rate than conventional toners.
This also results in less packaging material and longer
replacement intervals. Power consumption on the
MX2600N and MX3100N is among the lowest in the
industry and supports two different energy saving modes
to reduce or shut off power after a set interval. All Sharp
document systems belong to the EnergyStar
and RoHS program.
An Economical, Low Maintenance Colour
Document System That Makes Sense
The MX2600N and MX3100N are designed to
accommodate both large and small office environments.
With a compact wingless design, the footprint of each base
model is less than 25” x 28”. Our new long-life consumable
parts and supplies minimize service intervals and down time.
